[quote=Anonymous]Our annual income is $180k from work, $90k from real estate, and $75k from other businesses. We also have 3 young children all under age 7. I am exhausted and feel we could really benefit from hiring one household employee maybe 20-30 hours per week for meal prep, regular cleaning, and errands (e.g. grocery shopping, booking appointments, coordinating weekly schedules). I only know of colleagues with higher HHI $450k+) hiring this type of help. However, I do not see how I can sustain this pace of day job, property management, and maintaining operations for the businesses without some help at home so I can actually spend fun quality time with DH and our 3 DCs. I feel on the brink of being stretched too thin. Is hiring help feasible or do I need to cut back in some other way?[/quote]
